school trip activities IN Berlin

In this documentation centre, the history of the National Socialist reign of terror in Germany is examined. There are guided tours and exhibitions about the structures and crimes of the Nazi regime. This tour takes students through the former headquarters of the SS and Gestapo and shows the systematic persecution and murder of millions of people. This class trip activity offers an experience that vividly depicts the horror and mechanisms of terror for young school classes. Teachers can see the museum as a supplement to the curriculum, which deepens historical knowledge about the Nazi era and makes theoretical knowledge tangible. The centre is located near Potsdamer Platz and a visit takes about one to one and a half hours.

In the multidimensional parallel world of light, space and sound, school classes are guided through seven fascinating light installations. Each room has its own individual atmosphere, which merges into light choreographies through movement and sound. The installations are a true backdrop for beautiful photos. Students are immersed in a surreal environment that challenges their senses and stimulates their creativity. Teachers can see this experience as an opportunity to introduce students to art and technology, and also marvel at the light shows themselves. Dark Matter is located on a former factory site two tram stops from S Rummelsburg, and offers an approximately one-hour experience that both fascinates and educates.

The museum offers a journey through 2000 years of German history in an immersive interactive exhibition. Here, life-size, detailed worlds are created that bring historic places to life using cutting-edge technology such as 4D effects, ambient sounds and smells. Here, students experience history interactively by wandering through different periods and learning about the development of Germany in a playful way. Teachers can rely on didactically thought-out guided tours and offers that are tailored to curriculum topics — from antiquity and the Middle Ages to the Empire and the Nazi era to the GDR and reunified Germany. Depending on the program and interest, visits last between one and a half and two hours.

This interactive museum invites you to deceive your senses and be amazed by optical illusions. Here, students can cross the Vortex Tunnel, which simulates a world in which everything rotates around them. In the Ames Room, they can watch people shrink or grow depending on where they stand. In an inverted room, the class outsmarts gravity and appears to be running on walls or on the ceiling. For a school class, the illusions are definitely a cool class trip activity that playfully teaches them how easily the brain can be deceived through visual tricks. There are also workshops for school classes on various topics such as origami, tape art or anamorphoses. The Illuseum is located on Karl-Liebknecht-Straße in Berlin and the visit, including the workshop, takes around two hours.

It's not just video game geeks who get their money's worth here. For school groups in particular, the museum offers a great opportunity to learn about the development and diversity of computer games in an interactive environment. Here you can see over 300 exhibits, including original game consoles, computer systems and media art objects, which provide a comprehensive insight into the history and cultural significance of computer games. First and foremost, the exhibition is of course fun, and teachers interested in technology in particular should not miss out on this experience. The museum is located on Karl-Marx-Allee in Berlin and the visit usually takes around one and a half to two hours.
